| Reverse description | Central device depicts a full lateral profile of a long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) swimming to the right, rendered in fine naturalistic relief above stylized ocean waves. A semicircular arc of twelve five-pointed stars borders the upper rim, evoking the European motif. Below the whale, on a rippling banner, appear the German common name 'Grindwal' and the Linnaean binomial 'Globicephala melas' in smaller lettering. A bold curved ribbon in the lower field carries the conservation slogan 'SAVE THE WHALES' in large capital letters, flanked by additional stars along the lower rim. |
